Hi! I found on a Russian site how to make dual firmware and a switch for Motronic and siemens ms40-43

https://www.drive2.ru/l/593723085933260809/ The source of information
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NwXWoQBxdI Video of the dual mode sport / eco

Who can help me with translation? I know a little Russian

this has nothing to do with MS41 tuning or devleopment and only pertains to the old Bosch motronic DMEs

Also just use translate to english in your browser or use online translation tools.

Why doesn't it? Have you watched the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NwXWoQBxdI

In the pdf document there is a diagram for ms40, ms41, ms42, ms43

interesting. indeed it seems to be a hardwire map switch also for MS41. I used google translate tool to read it.

I will soon have time to complete the translation. I figured out how to do this for my ms41. Need a tl866 programmer and a larger eeprom 28f400

you can assemble a simple switch, but there is a switch in the wiring diagram that shows the number of the selected firmware and the firmware can be switched on the fly

I also found just such a thing to edit the firmware while driving online
https://cobrartp.com/en/store/flashonline/
Support for dual firmware and functionality is not bad, but expensive

Live tuning! Editing ot the MAPs/full ROM in real time mode.
Online software support - TunerPro software RT
Support for address hit tracing (tracing of maps in TunerPro software RT) (new)
Work with any software through CobraRTP Utility, (read / write firmware in .bin format)
The ability to download and use 2 firmware (full) with subsequent switching in real time without the participation of a PC (dual map Dual-mode)*
Storing the firmware in a de-energized state - it can be installed permanently instead of the standard flash memory chip. *

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBLlSDUK6vw video how it works

You can do 4 maps or even 8 maps, which actualy dont need them, i already did quad maps for my m50b30 non vanos motronic ecu
The real "+" will be the design and if we can use a better switchers like rotatif switcher or just button with numbers 1 2 3 4 to switch between maps
You can use eprom bigger size or dual eprom or both if want a million maps its always same principe

This is great! I cannot find for my bosch 402 normal definition. All I found have few tables

i didnt unerstand what you need daniel
the def file for tuning the 402 ecu is available for RR you can find it here
viewtopic.php?f=47&t=16956
if you wanna know how to make quad map on 402 ecu use 1Mo eprom ( and better be flashable ) like 27SF1001 if i remember 27SF any way is same like original eprom but flashable so u can use it many times
and for the setup use same like this shared one with 2 switchers for the maps
dual tune will be like
1st tune 1
second 0
quad tune will be lake
1st 0 0
2nd 0 1
3rd 1 0
4th 1 1

Hi
Could you give me som hints of how to set up the dual firmware in the bin file?

The hardware stuff I hope I will manage to do. But one question there, do I understand you correctly when you mention that the switch doesnt have to be with the circuit that has the numbers shown? A stable 5V I hope is enough to make the switching between the two firmwares/maps.

In the Russian file doc I can see four different 64kb-bin files (for a MS43 ver066).
Their names are:
c5666508_Ca430066_MOD4.bin
c5666508_Ca430066_MOD4_E0.bin
c5666508_Ca430066_MOD4_E2.bin
c5666508_Ca430066_Stok_Cal.bin

The stock version I could guess is a back-up.
But why three different "MOD4.bin"?

c5666508_Ca430066_MOD4_E0.bin Euro 0

I am not the author, I just found this on the internet

Can anyone tell me the profit one can get switching between two firmare files?
Switching between maps within one firmare seems to be smarter approach. Without any hardware rework
